CMS-HCC

A CMS-HCC is a Hierarchical Condition Category in the Medicare Advantage risk model. CMS maps ICD-10-CM codes to category numbers. This site uses the 2027 initial mapping file. Codes added for FY2027 that have no row say that no mapping is published yet. The lookup is at /icd-10.

CMS-HCC

The page label is CMS-HCC, payment year 2027 (initial mapping). It prints the category number. It does not print a model version name. It does not compute a risk score.

Questions

CMS-HCC, answered

Why do some 2027 codes have no category?
The mapping file says its codes are valid in FY2025 and FY2026. Codes added for FY2027 are not in that file, so the page says no mapping is published yet.
